Tyrone fall to defeat at hands of Mayo in Omagh

Amid the weekend’s Allianz League action, Mickey Harte’s Tyrone side have lost out by 2-13 to 0-10 at the hands of Mayo at Healy Park in Omagh.

By half-time, Mayo led 1-07 to 0-03, with Keith Higgins the goal scorer.

Tyrone had it all to do it the second half, but couldn’t stop Mayo continuing to extend their lead.

Fionn McDonagh provided their second goal of the game and the Red Hands were unable to make up the ground.
